The Capacity Per Hour OF the
Two Presses Built by c. Potter,
Dr., IL Go. for the Globe.
Almost eight papers OF eight pages
each in one second of timc, and sixteen
papers of four pages each Chc same as
the average evening journaD in the same
time may seem marvellous, yet such is the
fact in regard to the new presses of
the GLOBE built hy the noted firm,
MeSsrS. {. Potter, Jr., & Co., of New
| York and Chicago.
The GLOBE i'll contracting for two
presses instead Of one, aS with other
papers III the West, did so to insure
itself against any possibility of a break
down and also to save IS much time as
possible with its presS-work, particu-
larry on editions Of sixteen pages and
more. In placing this large order
with MeSsrS. c. Potter, Jr., IL
Co, in preference to all
other manufacturers, the management
feel that they have pursued the wisest
| course, rs practical tests have proven
the Potter, presses to be the peer of
those OF all other makes. With this
equipment the GLOBE has the most com
plete III the country, and though their
old machine was the finest in the North
west Ut being y Hoe web press, pur-
chased only two years and !, ualf ago),
still the superiority of the Huttcr press
WIS such that III order to he abreast of
the other dailies in this department., as
well as others, it threw out their old
printing machine, which had performed
such noble service. Tie gentlemen who
compose this t!rm of press manufactur-
eiS are MeSSrS. {. Potter, .Ir., H. w,

who have reached the top notch iii their
special business by undGunted energy in
keeping fully abreast of the times and
the demands of the trade in every par
ticnlar. They invite special attention TO
the extent, variety anu excellent char
acter of the machinery which they man

OF printing, from the village weekly to
the metropolitan daily, from the plain
commercial Job to the most clab-
crate and delicate cut, tinted
and chrome work, is provided
with machine perfectly adapted to its
special requirements. The success of
their web-printing and folding machines
is unparalleled in the history of printing
machinery. Their lthographic presses
-;tiso have steadily advanced, until now
they stand first in the market. For fine
cut, book and color work their
two-revolution presses are unSurpaSSc.. :,
and where there is q demand FOR more
form rollers they supply it with their
SIX roller stop cylinder press. For gen
eral job work the Potter drum cylinder
press is the acknowledged leader, more
OF these presses being found in the Job
offices Of the country than any other. The
presses furnished to the GLOBE by this
+ firm are combined quarto and folio web
printing and folding machines, these
Styles or presses were first presented to
the trade several years ago, and at once
attained and have since held position
where they stand without peer. These
machines take paper from a roll,
print from stereotype plates, cut,
paste and fold as may be
desired at tho rato mentioned
ct the head Of this article. Among the
many features which conduce to their
great popularity and success may bo
mentioned their cOmpactneSs, simplicity,
durability, y,maXimum of result from min
lmum of time and labor, and absolute
certainty OF delivery and freedom from
clogging. This last result is secured
by using the smallest number of tapes
and by having the sheet under positive
control at all times, SO that it cannot
stray from its course or choke tho fold
erS. These presses are running in
'ictIIy every large CITY III the country,
ana IN no instance have theyfailcti to give
entire satisfaction. As these machines
are built to meet special requirements,
this firm invites correspondence and
personal interview. James Thompson,
the gentleman sent on by the mann
facturers to set up the presses,is deserv-
ing. of great praise for the rapidity with
which he did his work. Inside of six
days he had the first press III running
